*Guest Hosts Holly Richardson & Taylor Morgan   Earlier this week the state released a comprehensive plan to save and restore the Great Salt Lake both in the short term and long term. Concerns over water levels have only risen in recent years, and this plan is an effort to get all the disparate state and federal agencies, and the state and federal legislature, on the same page to push together on this effort. So, is the plan adequate in its efforts and goals? How will it affect our farming and water supply? Great Salt Lake Commissioner Brian Steed and Warren Peterson from the Utah Farm Bureau join Taylor and Holly to explain.

*Guest Hosts Holly Richardson & Taylor Morgan The Utah legislative session has barely begun, and Utah lawmakers are already considering hot-button issues.

This is Derek Miller Speaking on Business. The Utah Farm Bureau has more than 32,000 member families in every county in Utah and stands as an advocate for agriculture. Chief Executive Officer Spencer Gibbons is here to talk about what they do. SPENCER GIBBONS: Making sure farmers can keep doing what they love to do, so the rest of us can eat, is central to what the Utah Farm Bureau Federation has been doing for more than 100 years. But we face challenges: a fast-growing population, increasing obstacles to food production, and the ever-present challenges of Mother Nature. Lucky for us, hard work is nothing new for Farm Bureau members. For our staff, we provide a great deal of information to the State Legislature, as well as working with local and county governments, helping them understand the intricacies of farming and how to keep it economically sustainable. We also help farmers navigate current issues – like drought, advocate for property rights, and providing leadership and professional training. For the public, connecting with farmers and ranchers has never been easier. You can do so at farmers markets, on social media, or by visiting our website UtahFarmBureau.org. On that website you'll see how you can connect to the ‘Miracle of Agriculture'. DEREK MILLER: Two years ago the Utah Farm Bureau created the Miracle of Agriculture Foundation which has since provided more than 1.5 million pounds of nutritious food to over 41,000 Utah families.

What happens when the market for farm products disappears and there are hungry people in the community?  In Utah it led to farmers delivering food to Navajo families, including lamb - a sacred food.  Ron Gibson shares the heart-warming story the remarkable effort to inspire all Utah families to connect, succeed, and grow through the Miracle of Agriculture Foundation during COVID-19. Ron Gibson is a sixth generation dairy farmer from Weber County, Utah. He is currently serving as the President of the Utah Farm Bureau, the largest farm & ranch organization in Utah. Its mission is to inspire ALL Utah families to connect, succeed and grow through the 'Miracle of Agriculture'. Key points: The agriculture industry was expecting 2020 to be a better year than the last few, but the pandemic changed everything. The last few years have weighed down farmers emotionally and financially. Farmers don’t control the prices.  They, for example, build a business assuming milk will be priced at $18 per pound.  When the price becomes $10 per pound - farmers lose several hundred-thousand dollars per month. COVID hit food prices plummeted.  Much of food is purchased for food service and restaurants.  Grocery store shelves were empty and farmers had no market for their harvest. Sheep ranchers were hit particularly hard since most of their harvest goes to restaurants. A community effort formed to help farmers and hungry people. Donations to the Miracle of Agriculture Foundation are used to purchase food to deliver to hungry families. The first project focused on easing the impact of hunger in the Navajo community. Sheep is a sacred animal to the Navajo. The beauty of the collaboration inspired more projects throughout the state. Sacred money is supplying sacred food and creating a sacred community. Three tips to overcome food bullying: Some of the coolest people in the world are farmers. Farmers run their businesses without knowing what the price will be at harvest. Farmers are independent and proud people who are the salt of the earth.
